Abstract: This report explains the basic theory and common terminology of quantum physics without assuming any knowledge of physics. It was written by a group of applied mathematicians while they were reading up on the subject. The intended audience consists of applied mathematicians, computer scientists, or anyone else who wants to improve their understanding of quantum physics. We assume that the reader is familiar with fundamental concepts of linear algebra, differential equations, and to some extent the theory of Hilbert spaces. Most of the material can be found in the book by Nielsen and Chuang and in the lecture notes on open quantum systems by Lidar. Another excellent online source of information is Wikipedia, even though most of its articles on quantum physics assume a solid understanding of physics.
